It would be last for 37 days from 29 Nov 2008 to 4 Jan 2008. The event which is previously known as the Malaysia Year-End Sale was renamed to the all new Malaysia Savings Sale could be due to the economy crisis which affects the country since last few months. However, the theme might not be so important providing the prices are low.

Although we still have to pay for the airport tax as usual, but I believe it is good enough to stop paying for the averaging RM47 fuel surcharge.

Besides, AirAsia is also having a 5-day campaign which offers 500,000 free seats started on midnight Wednesday for flights in the third quarter of 2009.

It’s time to plan for your next getaway!!
